INTRODUCTION 


The late Mr. George A. Hearn, like many other citizens of the 
United States, found a pleasant and absorbing relief from the cares 
of a great business in collecting and studying pictures by artists of 
the ancient and modern schools. And in doing so he was, perhaps 
unconsciously, following the example set by the Merchant Princes 
of Europe from medieval times down to our own day. Public gal- 
leries throughout Europe bear overwhelming evidences of this taste 
for the fine arts, and history has proved to us that the passion for 
collecting was active even during the times of internal upheavals 
and external wars and revolutions. We owe a vast debt to these early 
collectors for conserving and handing down to us monuments which 
might otherwise have been lost or destroyed and future generations 
will be no less indebted to the collectors of the past and present 
centuries. 

The joy of possession is often the keynote of many collectors’ 
ambition; and it is an undeniable human craving to wish to possess 
something which others are known to admire. 

While Mr. Hearn sought rare and interesting paintings with the 
characteristic ardor of a man whose pastime was also his passion, 
yet no collector had less of the desire to monopolize. He gave and 
loaned as freely as he bought, and his munificent gifts to the 
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York—his monuwmentum acre 
perennis—will keep his memory fresh throughout the ages. It is to 
the splendid patriotism of such men as George A. Hearn that the 
Metropolitan Museum of Art—an institution of only a few years’ 
growth—now worthily ranks with the great Kuropean Galleries, 
which have been in process of slow formation for centuries. But it 
was not alone to the Metropolitan Museum that he was a benefactor, 
for he extended his generosity to the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and 


Sciences and other art institutions, and in many other ways his 
philanthropy was manifested. 

Apart from his public gifts, Mr. Hearn’s private residence in 
New York was filled with paintings, while the larger gallery works 
were hung in the various departments of his great store. Not all of 
these can be placed in the first rank of quality, but most of them 
will undoubtedly be welcome in public and private collections. Pic- 
tures by modern American artists, landscapes, portraits, and genre 
subjects, many painted in Europe and others in America, form the 
larger portion of the whole collection, and numbers about two hun- 
dred. Mr. Hearn was one of the earliest collectors to anticipate the 
great future for American art, as he was one of its most extensive 
and consistent patrons. He bought many of these paintings when 
native art was to a great extent unappreciated, but he lived to see 
his judgment fully endorsed. George Inness, Winslow Homer, 
George H. Bogert, Homer Martin, Theodore Robinson, Alexander 
H. Wyant, Ralph A. Blakelock are all here, and not in small un- 
important studies, but in some of the finest efforts of their mature 
genius; and most of the other distinguished American artists—and 
those who will surely live—are likewise represented in Mr. Hearn’s 
collection. 

Numerically, paintings by artists of the British school form the 
second section of Mr. Hearn’s collection. It was not because he 
sprang from an old English stock that Mr. Hearn made a point of 
collecting pictures of England and portraits by English artists, but 
because they represented the highest manifestation of European art 
since the time of the Renaissance. Generally speaking, the English 
paintings range from the Van Dyck period down to the time of Mr. 
Hearn’s death. It is true, Adriaan Hanneman was not an English 
painter, but he long resided in England, and he is here represented 
by a graceful portrait of Queen Henrietta Maria in which the influ- 
ence of Van Dyck’s English manner is pronounced. William Dob- 
son, an English-born artist, and also a follower of Van Dyck, is 
represented by a good bust of the once famous poet Abraham Cowley, 


as are the two alien artists, Sir Peter Lely and Sir Godfrey Kneller, 


the former by a whole-length of Anne Hyde, Duchess of York, who 
sat many times to the artist whose protégé he was, and by a three- 
quarter length of the notorious Duchess of Portsmouth, the French 
adventuress whom the witty Charles II nicknamed “Fubbs,” on ac- 
count of her plumpness, and who figures so largely in the memoirs 
and satires of the period. Lely’s transcripts from nature are realistic 
rather than idealistic, and if his sitters were not always beautiful 
women, his dexterity in painting draperies and other accessories 
always renders his portraits highly decorative and attractive. Sir 
James Thornhill’s portrait of Mrs. Benson and EF’. Cotes’s unusually 
charming representation of Miss Broughton holding a mask, carry 
us from the Hogarth period to that of Sir Joshua Reynolds, whose 
genius is best represented here by the portrait of Dr. Burney, the 
famous musician, the father of a clever family of authors, at the head 
of all of which was the celebrated Fanny Burney (Madame 
D’Arblay), whose “Diaries” and novels are English classics. 

A problem presents itself in connection with the “Blue Boy,” 
which Mr. Hearn justly regarded as the most important English 
picture in his collection. A brief account of the history of the picture, 
so far as it can now be discovered, is given in the text of this. cata- 
logue. Mr. Hearn’s version did not come to light until nearly three- 
quarters of a century after the Duke of Westminster’s picture had 
passed into the Grosvenor Collection. But whether a copy by Hopp- 
ner or by someone else, Mr. Hearn’s portrait is undoubtedly a great 
picture, and it is not in the least surprising that the New York “Blue 
Boy” should have held the place it has for so long a time. We can 
only repeat what has been said of the original: “It is as fine as Van — 
Dyck.’ 

The third great figure in the Early English school, George 
Romney, is represented by the early portrait of Miss Hollingsworth, 
and by a small head and shoulders, covered with a white veil, of Lady 
Hamilton, one of several variations. By Zoffany there is an unusually 
brilhant portrait of a lady, said to represent a Miss Broughton, an 
actress, and possibly the same personage as in Cotes’s picture, but 
here she is not in character; it may be questioned if this refined and 


distinguished-looking woman was an actress at all. The Hoppner 
portrait of a Miss Denison, Constable’s portrait of George Garrard, 
A.R.A., and Sir John Watson-Gordon’s Raeburn-like portrait of an 
unidentified gentleman are good examples of early nineteenth century 
British art. By Sir Francis Cotes there is a full-length portrait of 
Lady Stanhope, which was one of Mr. Hearn’s latest purchases. 
Landscape painting is represented by examples of John Constable, 
Richard Wilson, Barker of Bath, John B. Crome, Stark, George 
Morland, Rathbone, Bonington and others. In modern British art 
Mr. Hearn was very fortunate in obtaining five fine examples by 
D. Y. Cameron, who has of late years attained to such eminence as 
an etcher, and whose pictures in oils now very rarely come into the 
market. Frank Bramley, Austen Brown, E. A. Hornel, John 
Lavery, Tom Mostyn, Will Orpen, J. J. Shannon, C. Sims, H. 
Speed, Henry Moore and H. H. Stanton are among the younger 
generation of painters represented in Mr. Hearn’s collection, and all 
are generally recognized as forces in modern art. Of many of their 
pictures interesting and hitherto unpublished data have been obtained. 

The small Italian section of the collection is chiefly remarkable 
for the fine Canaletto, “Ponte della Canareggio,” and an unusually 
large Guardi, besides several smaller examples by the same artist: 
two Venetian views by Marieschi, and an excellent example of Van- 
nutelli. Among the older French pictures, and apart from a number 
of portraits of personages of the Court, attention may be called to 
the Claude view of Genoa, to the Clouet portrait of Charles Duc 
d’Orléans, and to the little head of a child by Lépicié. But it is in 
the art of the Barbizon and modern schools that Mr. Hearn’s French 
pictures are most noteworthy. Corot, Diaz, Daubigny, Monticelli, 
Dupré and Troyon are all here in characteristic examples. The 
painter of old Montmartre, Georges Michel, the painter of river 
scenes, Kugene Boudin (by whom there are many examples), the 
painter of Paris, René Billotte, Harpignies, Cazin, Rosa Bonheur, are 
all here in attractive pictures. 

The Dutch, Flemish and cognate schools are represented by some 


excellent portraits, notably the companion pair of a lady and a gentle- 


man, painted in 1613, by a Dutch artist whose name is lost and of 
whose exact identity it would not be easy to determine, although we 
have a clue to the sitters in the two coats-of-arms. Unfortunately, 
there is no such clue on either the dignified portrait of a man by 
Mierevelt or on the engaging representation of a lady by Jan Albertz 
Rootius, 1661 (a very scarce master): one of the finest of all the 
portraits, the Jan Victoors, was one of the treasures of the collection 
of the Princesse Mathilde of France. The Dutch landscape and 
genre painters of the early seventeenth century are also represented 
by good works. The Spanish school is chiefly remarkable for a Goya 
portrait, not at his best, of Alvarez de Faria, a Pantoja de la Cruz 
portrait of an Austrian Princess and a “Flight into Egypt” by Col- 
lantes, whose bold and masterly landscape work has not been suf- 
ficiently recognized by modern writers, and examples of whose work 
rarely occur in the market. 

In the natural order of things, Mr. Hearn’s private collection 
will be scattered and its component parts find new homes and other 
masters; but his energy and success will not soon be forgotten, and his 
memory will be perpetuated through the ages by his many public 
benefactions.

Grour: THE JUDGMENT OF Paris 

The Shepherd Paris, clad in an animal’s skin and wearing buskins, 
steps forward to award the apple to the victorious and smiling Venus, 
a verdict which the gentle Cupid happily ponders over. Not so 
pleasant is the expression on the face of the Goddess Juno, on the

aloft by a loving figure and bearing on her shoulders the playful figure 
of Cupid, forms the handle of the tankard. Again, the Goddess of 
Flowers is seen in full array on the lid, together with a nymph clasp- 
ing a torch and a Love sporting on the ground.

sists of a bearded figure who seeks to grasp the body of the nymph

The body of the ewer is decorated with manifold scenes from a revel 
rout of countless figures grouped around two cars and moving with 
easy action toward the right. Nymphs, satyrs and cupids all play 
their part in the joyous scene. A band of reposing female forms 
decorate the upper frieze, while below masklike figures and females 
with extended wings enliven the merriment. Three crouching satyrs 
form the stem, which in its turn is supported on a metal base. The 
handle, in graceful line and partly made up of metal portions, shows 
us Cupid at the back of a vine-girt male figure. Female figures seek 
to lessen the weight of the lip of this nobly proportioned ewer. In 
the center of the dish, and separated from the action unfolding itself 
all around, lies Venus on her couch. Cupid les at the foot of the 
couch at the left. Draperies flutter in the breeze, and there is an abun- 
dance of natural growth. 
Revolving along the outer circle of the dish is an unending variety of 
attitude, motion and gesture seen in the nymphs, naiads, bacchanals, 
satyrs and other partially draped figures. The fruit of the earth 
and the flowers of the field are seen in all their splendor at the Court 
of Venus. The rim of the dish is decorated with classical designs
